As a tourist from the north, I would definitely feel regret if I didn't visit. I believe many friends who like photography would want streets without people, and you can achieve this by avoiding the business hours of Nanling Tiandi. For example, early in the morning at 7 o'clock or late at night at 23 o'clock. My photography skills are average, and I don't have much sense of composition when framing shots, but I travel with the idea of taking more photos, looking more, and practicing more. I ate at three restaurants in Lingnan Tiandi, which I personally think are very distinctive, and I will slowly share my experiences with everyone.

Among them, the Wenhuili Marriage House, with a history of over 300 years, is the most interesting. It's hard to imagine that there were wedding rental venues as far back as the Ming and Qing dynasties. At that time, the majority of people's homes were extremely cramped, yet the sense of ceremony for weddings was important. Therefore, the Yang family rented out a large mansion for the public to use for wedding celebrations. Later, the Marriage House, the Bowing Hall, the Family Joy Hall, and the Bridal Chamber became the most popular 'one-stop' wedding venues in Foshan at that time. The most unexpected thing is that there has been a special marriage registration office next to the Marriage House for a long time, which has now become the hottest place to get a marriage certificate in Foshan. This innovative service has allowed many people to complete a major life event inadvertently. Just the thought of getting a marriage certificate while out shopping is crazy enough!

Located in the ancestral temple area of Foshan City, Lingnan Tiandi is adjacent to Donghua Li, a nationally renowned national cultural heritage site. It is said to be one of the very few traditional affluent areas in China with a profound historical and cultural heritage. After 2008, the development of the 'Foshan Lingnan Tiandi' project was initiated. The entire architectural complex of Lingnan Tiandi was renovated, transformed, and developed in a way that preserves the old as it was, using modern techniques to turn the entire Lingnan Tiandi into a comprehensive historical and cultural district that integrates culture, tourism, residence, and commerce.

In Lingnan Tiandi of Foshan, I discovered a small art gallery, a paper-cutting art gallery, the Chen Yongcai Paper-cutting Art Gallery.

Lingnan Tiandi in Foshan is centered around the Ancestral Temple, Donghua Lane, and the historical style area, combining many cultural relic buildings and numerous outstanding historical buildings to form a historical street block with the typical Lingnan residential architectural style. Lingnan Tiandi preserves one of the most complete ancient architectural complexes in China. Famous protected cultural relics in the district include the Jian's Villa, the Wedding House, the Confucius Temple, and the ancestral shop of Li Zhongshengtang, among many other cultural relic buildings.

During the Spring Festival holiday, I finally came to Lingnan Tiandi in Foshan, feeling this wonderful place that integrates "culture" and "commerce".🏞️🏢 Lingnan Tiandi is located in the city's historical district, adjacent to two major cultural IPs - the Ancestral Temple and Donghua Li, which are extremely scarce cultural resources in the cultural and commercial tourism project, allowing the entire project to retain its original architectural features during maintenance, such as arcade buildings, wok ear firewalls, green brick houses, stone roads and other Lingnan cultural symbols are perfectly preserved.🏰🏡 Different from other projects that overemphasize commerce and ignore culture, Lingnan Tiandi focuses on the inheritance of Lingnan culture, integrating local cultural experiences such as lion dance cultural and creative shops, wedding houses, paper-cutting culture, and folding dramas, providing tourists with a deep Lingnan cultural experience.🦁🎭 The project did not introduce too many snack restaurants due to tourism factors, but cleverly integrated specialty brand stores that conform to the consumption habits of young people, such as Starbucks, Commune, Grandma's Handmade, Gaga, Godiva, etc. At the same time, it also introduced local Guangdong specialty foods, such as Wu Mi porridge, Shunde raw fish and other brand stores, bringing a rich and diverse compound comprehensive cultural experience to tourists.☕🍜 The success of Lingnan Tiandi is inseparable from the careful creation of Rui'an Group, and it is a classic work of Rui'an Real Estate's New World series like Shanghai Xintiandi and Wuhan Tiandi. A good developer can make the city better, and Lingnan Tiandi shows how a real cultural and commercial tourism project can achieve the harmonious coexistence of culture and commerce.🌆🛍️
